I wanted to be a fashion journalist and went to the London College of Fashion to do a journalism and promotion course.

Fashion intersects a lot with art and film and music, and that was appealing to me. I read a bunch of fashion blogs and wanted to be part of the community.

You do not need to go to journalism school if you want to work in the fashion industry. I think high schools condition you to think this way: If you want to be a fashion editor, go to fashion school. If you want to be a writer, you should study journalism. I think that the best school in life is experience.

One of the perks of my job as a fashion journalist is the travel opportunity.

I have always been interested in fashion and even contemplated being a fashion designer at one point of time.

I have been interested in fashion since I was a kid. Then I lived in London, where it was more about costume and a personal statement of who you are than about fashion.

I am deeply interested in the progress and elevation of journalism, having spent my life in that profession, regarding it as a noble profession and one of unequaled importance for its influence upon the minds and morals of the people.

I'm regularly speaking at London Business School and Harvard Business School. They're the next generation of leaders in the fashion industry.

Before I really became interested in fashion, all I would look at in a fashion magazine was the ads. It only dawned on me recently that just looking at the ads really doesn't teach you everything you need to know about the fashion world.

It's incorrect to assume you can be a fashion editor because you blog, if you don't have experience to look at fashion in a professional way.
